                       D
Well the street lights shine
        G               D            A
Down on Blessing Avenue
                 D
Lovers they walk by
G                     A
Holdin' hands two by two

                     D 
A breeze crosses the porch
G                    D               A  
Bicycle spokes spin 'round
                         D
Jacket's on, I'm out the door
G                           A     
Tonight I'm gonna burn this town down

        G                       D
And the girls in their summer clothes
        G                    D
In the cool of the evening light
    G                       D
The girls in their summer clothes
        A  
Pass me by

                  D  
Kid's rubber ball smacks
        G                       D              A   
Off the gutter 'neath the lamp light
               D  
Big bank clock chimes
           G                  A 
Off go the sleepy front porch lights

                       D  
Downtown the store's alive
       G                D              A
As the evening's underway
                     D 
Things been a little tight
      G                                A
But I know they're gonna turn my way

        G                       D
And the girls in their summer clothes
        G                    D
In the cool of the evening light
    G                       D
The girls in their summer clothes
        A  
Pass me by

Frankie's Diner's
                   G
Over on the edge of town
                  Bm
Neon sign spinnin' round
        A                       D               G
Like a cross over the lost and found
             C             
Fluorescent lights
                     G
Flicker above Bob's Grill
                                    Bm
Shaniqua brings a coffee and asks "fill?"
            A                          D   G    A
And says "penny for your thoughts now my poor Bill"

           D
She went away
    G             D             A  
She cut me like a knife
                D
Had a beautiful thing
      G                  A       
Maybe you just saved my life

   A#m     Bm 
In just a glance
G                  D            A       
Down here on Magic Street
                 Bm
Love's a fool's dance
        G                           D  G   A 
I ain't got much sense but I still got my feet

        G                       D
And the girls in their summer clothes
        G                    D
In the cool of the evening light
    G                       D
The girls in their summer clothes
        A  
Pass me by
        G                       D 
And the girls in their summer clothes
        G                   A      A#m   
In the cool of the evening light

La la la la, la la la la la la la
